PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Shock is a clinical manifestation of circulatory failure leading to inadequate tissue perfusion. Based on the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, four types of shock are recognized: hypovolemic shock (from fluid loss), cardiogenic shock (due to pump failure), obstructive shock (obstruction to blood circulation leading to inadequate oxygenation), or distributive shock (vasodilation resulting from the release of inflammatory mediators). Of these, distributive shock is the most common form of shock among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Distributive shock is often associated with sepsis but can also form an important component in other forms of advanced shock.
Early initiation of appropriate therapy – within an hour of development of hypotension – is crucial for clinical improvement and reduction in mortality. Education on the three-major blood pressure regulatory systems, as highlighted by the fact that although shock may be refractory to adrenal/sympathetic and arginine/vasopressin system-mediated therapies, these systems continue to be leveraged for managing hypotension, while the role of the RAAS may be underrecognized. Distributive shock can be refractory to treatment with catecholamine and fluid administration and patients may benefit from new and emerging therapies such as angiotensin II and agents acting on the RAAS.
This curriculum is designed to provide learners with a serial learning curriculum to bridge the knowledge and performance gaps related to distributive shock with personalized learner pathways. This educational initiative offers a two-phased curriculum. Phase 1 will offer a Self Assessment Program (SAP) to allow learners to assess their knowledge and skills in this area, compare their selections and scores with all other learners to date, and review commentary from the faculty. The goal of the SAP is to make learners aware of their strengths and weaknesses in this subject area.
After completing the SAP, learners will receive up to three brief, single-issue focused activities designed to cover all key learning points of the curriculum. Learners will be invited to participate in the subset of these activities that best address their learning gaps.
